Wolves rewarded for consistency

Stephen Ward believes that the win over Sunderland on Saturday was no more than Wolves deserved after a string of decent performances had gone unrewarded.

In what could end up being a turning point in the club’s season, Sylvan Ebanks-Blake scored a dramatic late winner at Molinuex after the home side had trailed with just 13 minutes left on the clock.

This was a change in fortunes for Mick McCarthy’s men after four Premier League defeats on the spin had left them rooted in the bottom three of the table.

They may well still be in the danger zone, but with safety just three points away, things are looking much more positive than they would have done had no points been achieved over the Black Cats.

Speaking about the victory, Ward said: “We've deserved that win on the back of the last few weeks. It's important that, after getting that win, we don't get lacklustre now, that we stay sharp and we kick on.”

It is certainly very crucial that Wolves do push on in the coming weeks. The Christmas fixture period is always crucial, of course, but it could be especially so this year.

Ward and co take on Blackburn next, followed by local rivals Birmingham and then games against West Brom, Wigan and Liverpool. There are some winnable games here and Wolves must make sure they are still in touch of safety when the New Year comes around.

One thing the players don’t lack is belief. They always wear their Wolverhampton Wanderers football shirts  with pride and go out there giving their all for the team.

As for whether they can survive the drop, Ward is confident. He says: We believe we can stay in this league if we keep playing the way we are and we stick to our plans.

"There's only one way to stay in this league and that's by playing to your strengths, so that's what we'll be trying to do.”

This is exactly the type of attitude Wolves need in the coming months. They mustn’t fear anyone and perhaps most importantly, they should keep turning performances into victories, much like they did at the weekend against Sunderland.
